Grants

The JWCT accepts grant applications directly from individuals, groups and organisations that meet our criteria. The JWCT is a small charity and will not be able to fund all applications made however worthy. The JWCT will not normally acknowledge receipt of grant applications due to limited resources. Applications should be made by email or post to the JWCT.
